High School, that is. Miss Priss graduated on June 3rd in front of God and everyone. A collective family sigh was released and now we're on to the next big adventure. Before I move on with this story, let me tell you that this graduation may have been the best one I have ever attended - 11 graduates in total (a charter school) - each graduate had a teacher give speech in their behalf, each graduate got to give a speech, and the parents of each graduate were allowed to give one, too. It was all very personal and very touching.

Oh, but the hits just keep on coming... The Graduate decided to QUIT.HER.JOB because it was "hard work" cashiering at the grocery store and it wasn't like, "sitting at a desk all day," like I do. Yes, mom and dad BOTH insisted you don't quit a job until you get a job, but she-who-knows-the-intricacies-of-the-universe knew better and did it anyway.

Well, this kiddo was informed not to expect ANY gas money from the parental units. She says, "I know," and we know she's thinking I have alllllllllllllllll this graduation money, etc... of course, she has almost sped through it. We're squirreling away $500.00.

About

I turned 50 in 2008. Where did half a century go? It seems only yesterday I was graduating from high school and here I have a 17 year old daughter, Nicole, about to start her senior a senior in high school.
Jerry and I will be married 20 years this November and we dated about 7 prior to that, so we've spent half our lives together.
And, why Art On A Limb? I have been online for a very long time and have always had the nick, sparrow or sparrow9. I also do some graphic art. Hence, the name. I like it :-)
There's much more, of course, but I guess I'll just share that in my posts.
